Disco Rhinestone Nails + Gladiator Sandals


So I decided to start using those rhinestones again from the BPS. I don't really care for the colored ones as much, but the clear ones seemed different so I tried them out.

What do you think? My friend really likes it. I'm not sure it's me though. Very Lady Gaga-ish I think.

If you want them for cheap (Born Pretty Store ships free!), you can get the whole wheel if you click on the colorful photo below:

Anywho, my real post is about these Gladiator sandals. They seem to be a big trend, but honestly, I hate them. They make short people look shorter. I think maybe I could pull it off if I got them in camel or tan with a slight heel. Most people wearing them look kind of frumpy with bulkier legs.

I hope this trend dies soon. It looks like it is, and with Indiana weather, well it's sure to happen soon. I just hope the UGGings movement doesn't come back to campus. T_T

Trending on IU Campus: Michael Kors vs. MC HAMMER





So I couldn't help but notice this bag around campus a lot lately.This bag is by Michael Kors. 
I really like it! I have however seen some worn out (maybe fake!) ones. Trust me, they don't look good. Buy it from the official site, or in person to make sure it looks sophisticated!




I've also noticed a lot of people wearing clunky enamel watches. They usually have rhinestones, but not always. The glitzy style seems to be really popular right now.

These have also been popular (mind you, I'm using a more flattering photo of these hideous pants). I'm not sure why, but a lot of people have been wearing this. It seems to be extremely popular with the Asian crowd, though I've seen it blossoming among Caucasian trenders.

I really don't like them...at all. I've seen a few one-pieces but honestly, they look like something my grandmother would wear while gardening.



COACH bags.

I am SO sick of Coach bags. They're EVERYWHERE on campus. Every woman I see (down to the hobo women at the BMV) have them. I'm not sure if we have some kind of counterfeiter here in town, but it's getting to the point where seeing Coach is as common as McDonalds. Don't wanna give up your desire for Coach? Try this: Avoid the signature C symbol and go for one of the bags in the top row. Can't give up the C symbol? Spice up the variety with a punky fushia or minty green. Seriously, I've seen some awesome bags with this kind of color variety.

Almay Makeup Eraser Sticks AKA Cotton Swabs



Okay, so I've been testing lots of different products lately.

This one I've been using for some time now. I really like them butttt.....

I'd only purchase them for on the go emergencies. The swabs don't do an efficient job of taking all of your make up off unless you use several of them. It's best to get normal eye makeup remover and a cotton wipe for full removal.

Otherwise they are great for touch-ups! My problem with the functionality of the swab is that one cotton head gets wasted unless you use it dry.

Great product for touching up after a sad chickflick ;)
